These Quick Dinner Rolls with Greek Yogurt are a twist on classic dinner rolls, bringing in a slight tang and added richness from the yogurt. Perfectly soft and fluffy, these rolls can be made quickly without hours of rising time, making them ideal for last-minute gatherings or weeknight dinners. The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a subtle depth of flavor, while also making the rolls tender and airy. These rolls come together easily and will be a hit with both adults and kids at the dinner table!
These dinner rolls have a mild, slightly tangy flavor from the Greek yogurt, which balances well with the buttery crust. The rolls are soft inside, with a golden, slightly chewy exterior that’s perfect for spreading with butter or dipping into soups and stews.
By incorporating Greek yogurt, these rolls provide a bit of extra protein compared to traditional dinner rolls. The yogurt also adds calcium and probiotics, making these a slightly more nutritious bread option. For a lower-fat version, you can use low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup neutral oil
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
